Publisher Description `Long may the barbarians continue, I pray, if not to love us, at least to hate one another. Cornelius Tacitus, Romes greatest historian and the last great writer of classical Latin prose, produced his first two books in AD 98. He was inspired to take up his pen when the assassination of Domitian ended `fifteen years of enforced silence. The first products were brief: the biography of his late father-in-law Julius Agricola and an account of Romes most dangerous enemies, the Germans. Since Agricolas claim to fame was that as governor for seven years he had completed the conquest of Britain, begun four decades earlier, much of the first work is devoted to Britain and its people. The second is the only surviving specimen from the ancient world of an ethnographic study. Each in its way has had immense influence on our perception of Rome and the northern `barbarians. This edition reflects recent research in Roman-British and Roman-German history and includes newly discovered evidence on Tacitus early career. Author Biography Anthony Birley was Professor of Ancient History at Manchester University 1974-1990. His most recent book is "Hadrian, the Restless Emperor" (1997).
